database info

Database information is stored in a database, not a file in a folder. Unless you saved a backup file, or one was created by other means, the information may not be available. There are several ways the information could have been saved. Most commonly (for mysql, anyway), it is "exported" as a "some_name.sql" file. Or it may be as "some_name.csv", or maybe a "txt" or "xml" file (I've always saved as sql, so I'm not sure about the other formats).
Your best hope is to do a "find, *.sql" search of your site's folder.

Thank you so much for helping! I have it all sorted now as I found the mysql folder and a separate photos folder.
